There isn't one rock'n'roller that Ozzy Osbourne didn't influence: Subir Malik of Parikrama
Collage of Ozzy Osbourne at his last concert and Subir Malik of Parikrama Subir Malik – founder and keyboardist of Parikrama, one of India's most prominent rock bands – says he woke up to the news of Ozzy Osbourns's passing before a red eye flight to Mumbai. "I just couldn't believe it — especially after all the hype of his farewell show at Birmingham. I wanted to be there so badly; I tried to get tickets to the show for days," he said. Malik has always said that the Prince of Darkness was a big musical influence in his life: 'Ozzy was the one of the rebellious bad boys of rock'n'roll that everyone emulated in the Seventies. Ozzy's impact was global, all-pervasive — I don't think there would be any person out there even remotely inclined towards rock'n'roll music, not just as performers, but just listeners, who Ozzy didn't influence. You realise that the creator had a perfect plan for Ozzy's exit. What a guy, and what a way to go!' "Talking about the Back to the Beginning concert, Black Sabbath and Ozzy's last gig on July 6 at Birmingham, Subir said: "It was a perfect example of dying with your boots on, while you're still a rock'n'roller. Not everyone stays that way — a lot of them mellow down with age, and of course, I am not one of them ( laughs ). But even for them, this gig would have rekindled an interest in rock'n'roll, the era from years back. Being an event of such a scale, it must have turned on the next few generations to music.' In a chat with us, Subir traces back his love for Black Sabbath while remembering Ozzy Osbourne . 'I was 13 when I heard Black Sabbath for the first time' The first time I heard Black Sabbath, the original line-up, I must have been in the seventh standard, so about 12-13; an old PRT tape, at the house of my dad's friend. The only introduction to 'guitar music' was from that song sequence in the Rishi Kapoor film, Karz (laughs), and then came Toni Iommi with these crushing riffs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 4BHK Luxury Duplex starting ₹3.60 Cr* The Gardens II, Vadodara 4BHK,The Gardens II Learn More Undo I remember wondering 'How can this guy sing so high?'. It was the same feeling of wonder I had on hearing Eddie van Halen in the mid-80s, and then Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine) later. 'Parikrama was a meeting point between Black Sabbath & The Doors' For me, the first two bands that opened the doors to rock'n'roll were Ozzy , and a totally different-sounding band, The Doors. The round glasses that I have been wearing for the last 35 years, on and off-stage, I carry a little bit of Ozzy and a little bit of (Doors' keyboardist) Ray Manzarek in them. Parikrama was a meeting point between these two bands. We covered Sabbath extensively back in the day — from Paranoid to Crazy Train to Mama I'm Coming Home . The album that really stayed with me was No More Tears .
